Permanent residence/divorse

Post by Bella21 » Fri Feb 09, 2018 9:50 pm

Hi all...i need your advise please...
I'm non-eu national, was married for 7 years, got my permanent residence in uk as eu family member in 2017 and now my husband told me he wants to move back to his country and find a new girl and he doesn't love me anymore....
im shocked and I don't know what to do now...do I need to find an immigration solicitor or do i need to inform home office about it? I don't want to brake UK rules... when I received my card the only way I could loose it was the absence from UK for more then 2 years...so as far as I understand I don't depend on him anymore? Please advise??? I cant apply to retain my rights because I have got a permanent residence already so I am confused what should I do next...

Well if you have permanent residence, his departure will have no effect on your residence status.

Don't think you do, for immigration purpose, unless of course you wish to divorce him.

Thank you guyes, I'm just so lost...
So what shall I say to the border control when I return to UK from a holiday for example? They will ask me about my husband and where is he etc...shall I just say we split?
